Boddington is a flagship Newmont gold and copper operation in Western Australia, located about 130 kilometres south-east of Perth and 16 kilometres from the rural town of Boddington.

This large open-pit mine is among Australia’s biggest gold producers and in 2021 it became the world’s first gold mine to implement an Autonomous Haulage System (driverless haul trucks) – a pioneering step for safety and innovation.

Boddington’s team culture is built on a safety-first mindset and continuous improvement. We operate responsibly and take pride in our community partnerships – including working closely with local Traditional Owners – as we create sustainable value in the region.
